South African Piquant chilli seeds.This baccatum grows from Malawi to South Africa and is a very productive, large plant that yields loads of heart shaped pods that are crunchy, juicy, very sweet and tasty.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
